Ingredients

• 12 pieces Rice paper wrappers
• 12 pieces Shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 250 grams Pork belly or tenderloin, thinly sliced
• 100 grams Rice vermicelli noodles
• 6 large leaves Fresh lettuce leaves
• 30 grams Fresh mint leaves
• 30 grams Fresh cilantro leaves
• 30 grams Fresh Thai basil leaves
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
• 80 ml Hoison sauce
• 2 tablespoons Peanut butter
• 1 tablespoon Soy sauce
• 120 ml Water
• 1 clove Garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts (for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon Vegetable oil

Directions

Step 1

1. Cook the pork: In a medium pot, boil the pork in salted water for 15-20 minutes until fully cooked. Let it cool, then thinly slice into strips.

Step 2

2. Cook the shrimp: Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until pink and fully cooked. Rinse with cold water, pat dry, and slice each shrimp in half lengthwise.

Step 3

3. Prepare the noodles: Soak the rice vermicelli noodles in hot water for 5-7 minutes, or until softened. Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking.

Step 4

4. Prep the veggies: Wash the lettuce, mint, cilantro, and Thai basil. Peel and julienne the carrot and cucumber.

Step 5

5. Prepare the peanut sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, water, minced garlic, and vegetable oil. Stir constantly until smooth and heated through (about 2-3 minutes). Transfer to a bowl and garnish with crushed peanuts.

Step 6

6. Assemble the spring rolls: Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip a rice paper wrapper in the water for 5 seconds to soften, then place it on a clean work surface.

Step 7

7. In the bottom third of the wrapper, layer a piece of lettuce, a few vermicelli noodles, a slice or two of pork, 2-3 shrimp halves, and a small handful of mint, cilantro, Thai basil, carrot, and cucumber.

Step 8

8. Roll tightly: Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll upward tightly to seal. Repeat for the remaining rolls.

Step 9

9. Serve: Arrange the spring rolls on a platter and serve with the peanut dipping sauce. Enjoy!
